After almost ten years in Portland, Oregon, the time had inevitably arrived to say goodbye. Texas-sized opportunities were presented to my wife Julie and I and now here we are, lock, stock and barrel: job offers accepted, house sold, house bought, new neighborhood, new schools, new everything. Texas was never on our radar, but after 3 short months we are indeed happy to call ourselves Houstonians. This city has been beyond welcoming and its one-of-a-kind personality reveals itself around every corner. Our 2,241-mile journey caught the attention of Houstonia magazine and was featured in their humorous Escaped Converts column. Pretty cool. Most of all though, I’m excited to finally say that after months of unpacking and setting up our new shop space, Nutmegger Workshop is back and ready to take your orders!
